So after all the possible candidates announced, both Larry Fitzgerald and Troy Polamalu will be featured as Madden NFL 10 Cover Athletes. It’s only fitting that for the first time ever, two NFL superstars will be on the Madden cover in Fitzgerald and Polamalu. After all, the cover is a reflection of Super Bowl 43, which the Steelers won 27 – 23. Madden NFL 10 will be out on Friday, August 14th, for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable.

– Above is the official Madden 10 Cover for the Xbox 360 featuring Larry Fitzgerald on the right and Troy Polamalu on the left. –

Since John Madden retired from broadcasting in the NFL booth and BOTH Fitzgerald and Polamalu will be on the cover instead of one athelete, is this the end of the Madden curse?
